We conclude the tale of total pop icon Madonna with her boom into the 90’s that turned into her current presence in today’s music scene. With more hot takes than we initially thought possible. Her movie career takes off, she finds love and family, and after her music career takes a turn for the mature, […]
This week we deep dive on another heavy hitter – Madonna is an icon that goes beyond music, she is even know widely for her movies and her impact on the fashion world. And she knew this path was hers from the start. In this first part we cover her small town beginnings where she […]
This week we conclude our story of the guitar legend, Mr. Jimi Hendrix. He was on the fast track to dame, but had a hard time processing just what exactly that entailed.

This week we deal with a different kind of mental illness with a completely different kind of musician. Karen Carpenter was a wholesome, everywoman type of artist with the silkiest voice one could ever ask for. But she was haunted by the need to have control over her weight.
